Attacking the Psychology

In this video I talk about how you can attack the psyche or the psychology of a subject, via the suggestion (in a kinaesthetic sense) of the physical consequences of their possible demise! Even though in a physical sense it is highly probable that you will do no physical harm at all nor is any intended! A useful tool! Lee M

Irrelevant side note: while the terms are often used interchangeably, psychopaths lack empathy for others, and do not necessarily lack self preservation instincts. This usually meams they are capable of inflicting great harm (for no apparent reason) on others, but it doesnt necessarily mean that they would have no consideration for their own well being. A psychotic (someone experiencing psychosis) is a person who has lost touch with reality and may not respond or even acknowledge a threat to their own personal safety. So in the context of self defence, a psychopath can (like the rest of us) respond to having their life/well being threatened, whereas a psychotic probably will not. Great vid as usual UC 👍👍👍

i remember when a guy started coming towards me with a snooker cue to try to prove to everyone in the room how tough he was.. and when i smiled and took a step towards him he backed off and changed the subject same with a builder who got angry at me and started coming towards me to fight me when i told him that he was doing the wrong part of a job as it had been done by me.. when he came at me out of the digger to attack me, when i instinctively smiled (like i was looking forward to fighting him) and moved my hands and feet to a subtle ready stance he backed off as he saw i was enjoying the prospect of fighting him.. he didn't fancy it after seeing i was smiling and ready in a real way :) I've been beaten (badly) too in fights on the street but that taught me it is better to defend yourself than to try to avoid any conflict at all if someone is intent on trying to hurt us (I'd beaten him at pool with a brilliant pot of the black from a snooker by doubling it off the far cushion when the black had been on the end cushion and the white was in the boundd of the pocket of that cushion and blocked by a ball so i had to double it off the long way up the table and cut it in off the cushion.. was a awesome fluke but he was extremely p!ssed off..the fact his sister liked me a lot didn't help.. but i nearly died from that when he got me from behind out in the street when i tried to walk away after trying to be pescemaker.. so never turn your back on an angry guy folks.. some people have no honour

Now this is what TRUE self defence is about. The most interesting and highly informative video regarding the psychology of defence application seen yet.👍

Since discovering UC channel, this man tells it as it is as most dojangs/dojos failed to explain this to their students worldwide. Psychology is a vital part of martial arts and especially in urban combat settings that truly can make or break your assailant.

[@johnmcgahan1001]

having tried various martial arts over the years when younger and never finding what i was looking for ,which was self protection and nothing else i sincerely wish i'd known a man such as you to train me in the art of real self protection!!

"We will use visual aesthetics to instill psychically in the enemy a disincentive to attack. You relax your body and your voice. And you just rip out one of his eyes. Or you get a pen and you stab him in the neck, you create this... a fountain of blood, I mean a real fountain, get it squirting all over his buddies. That is a psychic disincentive, right there." -Lyn Cassady

[@charlesmitchell5841]

A lot to learn from this gentleman.

[@America2gether]

The real question is: Do I have the discipline to release??!! Once the switch is flipped - in case of the clear and present danger. Can you train for this? Mental strength NOT to take the force continuum from zero to 10. I love your channel for a perspective on violent v. violent topics.

[@sirseigan]

Yes it is possible to train. The more emotional control you have and the more you train to rapidly switching between mindsets the easier it is. A very easy start is to just train you eyes (which is part of your neurosystem) to focus at different distances, focus really hard on one single point and the "crush" your focus and concentrate on the periphiral vision. This might sound total bullshit but if you train your self to switch between ultra focused to totally unfocused and get a good control over that you start being able have finer control over other things. This due to the fact that you train your nerological system to quickly switch between different modes (even though it seems to be "just" fine montor skills for the muscles in your eyes, but it is also the brains perception of what you see). If you then add training to swap between different types of breathing (hyperventilate and long calm breaths) you start to get another level of emotional control. The breath control is neurologically speaking directly linked with your fight or flight system and the easiets way to advert a panic attack for example is by controlling the breathing. So the easiest way to control your emotions is by breath control. This can be done do excercises so that you get winded and then try to control your breath and thereby your heartrate. Practioners of biathlon (crosscountry sking and the precision shooting with a rifle) are real experts of this. The second easiest is by cotrolling your thought and using deliberate "counter thoughts" to balance impulsive thoughts. One way of training this is to do mindfullness excersises and/or meditations where the whole goal is to let your mind go off track and then retain the focus. Like in the gym; the more reps you do the stronger this ability becomes. Another way of training this is to go from very a calm and still mind to imidate explosive action where your mental intention and focus is to kill those pads or punshing bag in a flurry of strikes - give it all and the some - and then suddenly stop and get back to a clam state again. Doing it on command to start can be good because the you need to listen to an outside que. Just train control and rappidly switching between mindsets. Just as the explosivness of you muscles are (mostly) neurologically based, so are rapid switching in your brain. Some people even have the abillity to totally disassociate their thought process from their feelings in a fight where they are able to stay clear headed even under emence stress and feelings of fear and rage. It is at times described like a "wet blanket" over their feelings which get muted while their head/thoughts go full throttle focusing really hard trying to solve the situation. It is like the body shuts out the feelings to focus the resources on the problemsolving. The emtional backlash though can be brutal afterwards with the body reacting to the bottled up emtions without the mind/thought process really getting wtf are happening. This though is not really the same as emotional control and rapid switching between mindsets though, but it can help having control in the heat of the moment.

I have been following your work for many years now and you have taught me very much. You make me harder to kill and in the long run the world a better place. Thank you

[@niledunn4641]

Lee is right on the markand this isn't explained alot in martial arts

[@RK-dl4ss]

great Video 👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you Lee Morrison

[@fairbairnprotocolh2h399]

First off I love your presentation of this approach. I am of the opinion that pain is far to unpredictable to count on. I would like to add that attacks to the eye where you keep your figners in the eye-socket can product a very similar effect. Here the effect is control based on the opponent's fear of being blinded. I would offer the evidence in that I have used this approach in a real situation as a method to create compliance to my ceasing their immediate attack, manipulating their body postion, and pushing the fellow rearwards. Althoug they may capitualate, I teach this with an absiolute warning that the second you remove the threat the opponent will be immediately back in the game. This must be noted and accoutned for. In reality I have experienced both.

[@thehastingsdojo2332]

as always thank you for sharing and inspiring us all to train hard and smart

[@jonpicojones4032]

Gold. Videos like this are treasure because most of fighting/confrontation is mental!

[@bobadams7654]

Nicely put Lee. We must remember to work hard at developing the skills to be able to implement this strategy.

[@johnh1191]

I'm always impressed with your knowledge from experience and the raw approach to reality. Thank you

[@deltabravo1969]

There was an incident in NYC on a subway where a homeless man was threatening the passengers if they didn’t give him money. A marine veteran put him in a chokehold and the homeless man died. The homeless man had a history of violence against defenseless elderly people. The marine veteran had no intention of killing the man. However, he didn’t know when it was safe to let him go. Can you watch the video and comment on that situation? Thank you.

[@stephenmonash821]

A lot people smile .. when facing fear I feel. It is not an absolute sign perhaps.. as some may be showing confidence or be amused you would consider fighting them. In other cases, the smile is to offer a false sense of security; or to lessen a loss of face; or a plea to calm an adversary. These are of course just my mere opinions.

[@bigtosullivan7764]

Thanx You Muchly

I want Lee on my side

What would you suggest to overcome a windmill, maybe with keys in hand.. a mate reckons a well spirited windmill is hard to beat.. cheers

[@AR-qn9mq]

All 3 examples are from behind. How could it apply front on?

[@tomislavandric6476]

Pain compliance is maybe risky to do. You dont know that induvidual. If they will back off, or if they come at you full force after inflicted pain. Better for you personaly, dont gamble just make him unconscious. Only try this with female subjects, for example if you are security or police officer and you are forced tp handle a problematic lady , you could try pain but this could also backfire because some women will just explode even and make it even worse to handle after this.
